ALL 4 NATURAL HEALTH – Attaining Good Health Naturally

Hi,

How has your 2009 been so far? Already, 1 week has just flashed by.

Today, my health reflections are on our food supplies presently in the developed world. The other day, I was taking a walk in a regular supermarket with my partner. Randomly, I was taking a look at food labels. To me, it’s quite frightening what is used to produce most foods.

On top of the basic “evils” – refined salt and refined sugar, there is a whole host of other chemical preservatives, additives, colorings and flavorings which are added. These include MSG, and many chemicals which I cannot even pronounce. Not to mention the chemical pesticides and fertilizers which are used to grow fruits and vegetables – those are not named.

Are they food at all? They may be edible, but are they nutritious? Are they safe? I think the only sections in the whole supermarket which sold truly healthy, nutritious food were the areas which stocked organic produce and pure water.

Most of the man-made chemicals in our food products have never been tested for human safety. And the truth is, most food corporations do not care about bringing value, nutrition or even safety to their customers. They just want our money, and seem perfectly comfortable with producing substandard food products, putting large amounts of harmful chemicals in them, or making false claims on food packaging, as long as their production costs are lowered, they get the purchases and make the money.

Most of us think that, if someone smokes alone in a room, and then airs it later, it should be fine for others to use the room later with no adverse effects. But it seems third-hand smoke can be harmful too, especially for children. What is third-hand smoke? The smoke which remains on surfaces of items, such as clothing and furniture, which can linger long after a smoker is done with his cigarette.

Better News

Okay, let me round off with more positive news and information. Here are some tips for better health in 2009, which I had gotten from an article by a medical doctor. Mostly sound and basic advice. My favorite? Get more vitamin D!

Treat the disease, and we might fail. Treat the person, and we will always succeed.

Have a happy and healthy day ahead, folks. The weekend is coming, hang on in there.

Yours in Good Health,
Reuben
